Installation Location
Wireless communication range
T
he wireless communication range of each device in the system from the hub is approximately
50 m indoors and approximately 300 m outdoors. Wireless communication may be unreliable
when the following obstacles are located between the hub and other devices.
R Metal doors or screens
R Walls containing aluminium-sheet insulation
R Walls made of concrete or corrugated iron
R Double-pane glass windows
R Multiple walls
R When using each device on separate floors or in different buildings
Note:
R The camera’s LED indicator blinks quickly in red if it is out of range of the hub. In this case,
confirm all connections, including those of the hub.
Information about sensor features
he camera has 2 sensor features that are used for motion detection: a visual sensor and an
T
infrared sensor (i.e., heat sensor).
Please read the following information before deciding where to install the camera.
Note:
R The camera’s sensor features are not designed to be used in situations that require high
reliability. We do not recommend use of the sensor features in these situations.
R Panasonic takes no responsibility for any injury or damage caused by the use of the camera’s
sensor features.
Detection method
Visual sensor Infrared sensor
The camera detects changes in the images
being displayed.
R The camera detects changes in the
brightness levels of moving objects.
The camera detects temperature differences
of objects in the images being displayed.
R The infrared sensor uses infrared rays to
detect temperature differences within its
range that are emitted naturally by people,
animals, etc.

mage.
Can detect motion only in part of the visible
mage (shown here in grey)

Installation Location
R Y
ou can adjust the area detectable by the
visual sensor. For more information, refer
to the User’s Guide (page 26).
R Y
ou can adjust the area detectable by the
infrared sensor. See “Adjusting the infrared
sensor range”, page 22.
R Detection does not occur when there are
obstacles in front of the infrared sensor.
Remove the obstacles or change the
installation location.
Main characteristics
Visual sensor Infrared sensor
Easily detects movement in the daytime or
w
hen it is bright.
R Movement may be incorrectly detected
when the moving object and the
background have a similar colour.
R Movement may be incorrectly detected
when there are sudden changes to the
overall brightness levels such as when
external lights are used.
Easily detects when there is a big difference
between the temperatures of objects and the
surrounding environment, such as in winter or
late at night.
R The sensor cannot easily detect when
there is no difference between the
temperatures of objects and the
surrounding environment, such as in
summer or during the daytime.
R If the camera is mounted facing a road, the
sensor may detect incorrectly due to
interference caused by the heat from
passing cars.
